lyrics

Where will this prayer go will it fall on deaf ears?
Will it open up a channel
For love to pour in?

I sink my feet in the soft white sand
Pearl coloured diamond dust I run to the shore and let the tide rush in bringing treasures of the sea Is this the answer to my plea?

Chorus:
Oh, will my sighs and groans be delivered to the heavens on angel wings? Will my cries and moans be laid like a flower at Mother Mary's feet in my last hour?

Tonight we'll set the brush on fire it will singe the fringe of the highest tree We're trying to get close but we can't find the words to share the things we hide
So we talk about the tide

The tide rolls in, the tide rolls out
Twice every day, returning

The periwinkle chatter with the crickets in the grass
And they sing of the open channel I
hear timpani and I hear brass
I might be answered if I ask

Chorus

Reach for the warm spots on the sandy floor
Tiptoe a little further to see if there's more, to see if there's more.
Cool glassy waters, by a wooden country church
We feel free we feel graceful and love pours in, oh love pours in

Chorus
